NEW LOW COST MODELS
First one
here already:

OUR BEST EVER VALUE UPGRADE

NAD T535 Multi-Player - our lowest cost SACD Player $990 plus...
The NAD &535 typically now reduced to $260

OTHER NEW PLAYERS - OPPO BDP-93 & ONKYO C-S5VL
Recycling Terra Firma Lite: The TFL will
easily last generations of players. Custom Analogue Audio (no other
agents included) will recycle your TFL into your next generation player
and potentially $400
off. Truly a Green Clock.
The history of this upgrade comes from the use of
"Voltage" type DACs, these are best served by the use of 1:1 ratio
Audio Grade Transformers.
This completely bypasses all the limitations caused by poor electronics
and power supplies, because they are not
used.
The downside is that High Quality Audio Transformers
are expensive!
Until now!
We have been able to source an extremely High Quality Audio Transformer at
a fraction of the normal cost. We are now seeking to pass on a major
saving to you. The standard cost of the Terra Firma Lite is $800 plus GST.
For just an extra $100 plus GST we are offering fully fitted Audio Grade
Output Transformers and the usual noise reduction in the DAC circuit.
All for $990 including GST
For the more technically minded, the NAD uses the same DAC as the Oppo
BluRay BDP-93, for which we hope to develop a similar upgrade for the same
price. There are other suitable players out there with compatible DACs - in which case do submit the
player to see if this upgrade can be performed
at the same price.

This new player implements Cyrrus Logic's DAC CS4382.
This is their multi-channel DAC rather than dedicated stereo DAC like
CS4398. But we found that it seems to lack very little indeed versus its
bigger brother.
Also means, for those interested, we can do a very
high quality Multi-Channel version of this player. Cost will be very
reasonable.
And yes, watching
Movies with this level of audio adding greatly to the reality and
excitement of the experience.
Terra
Firma AN ALTERNATIVE TO
ATOMIC CLOCKS
Features:
-
The
Terra Firma
Clock
-
Custom Transformer Output Stage
-
Back-EMF Noise Reduction
The “Reference Clock”
incorporating Terra Firma is not just another clock
upgrade. A new and
key design by our team from Vacuum State (www.vacuumstate.com)
and used by permission. Not just of the highest
quality but also incorporates a unique power supply, with extraordinary
low frequency bandwidth and has rock like stability. Our finding that Low
Frequency jitter is sonically more serious is not in itself unique, but
that jitter down to sub-One Hertz is critical and usually noise in the
power supply at ultra-low frequencies is far more serious than previously
thought. Only by actively seeking and finding a solution (because the
problem is largely unmeasurable) will it then
become apparent by listening. LF noise performance in the Reference Clock
easily surpasses even batteries.
Eliminating the entire
IC based analog output stage and replacing it
with our High Quality Audio
Transformers.
Major reduction of
back-EMF noise in digital circuits. Grossly
overlooked and underestimated problem, often not
fully understood until the results are heard. Even the most expensive
players on the market are inadequate, so much so that any player
can be improved by just tackling this problem
alone. Using our methods the digital circuits are damped by shunting the
noise into the player's
ground plane and out of harms way. The sonic gains and
stunning increase in focus and fluidness are immediately obvious.
This new JLTi SACD and Multi-Players
can be compared to the best players available and not really in
consideration to its price. By all means compare it with any other players
up to 10 times or more.
Let your ear
be your final arbiter.
Happy listening.

Previously called Reference Clock
is
now called Terra Firma, is a break-through Clock
Technology.
While low frequency jitter (jitter is frequency spectrum selective) is known to be
critical and the kind of jitter to have severest and worst affect on digital replay,
something has clearly not been fully understood:
It can NOW be demonstrated that even SUB-sonic
jitter kills dynamics, tonality and sheer presence of the music in
a fundamental way that is hard to put into words. Those who have heard it,
even hardcore retailers who hear all sort of ambit claims (yawn) are
excited when they hear this.
The Terra
Firma Clock system is a Vacuum State development, the only Clock that controls
ultra-low
frequency noise that induces jitter, even sub one Hertz.
The results is reducing
noise that can hardly be measured. Even the best batteries, often praised,
do not even approach the Terra Firma enhanced clock. Indeed batteries
are woefully inadequate and have a rising
noise spectrum at low frequencies. Noise equals jitter and the lower
the frequency of the noise, the more audible the jitter.
Here
is a universal player that can now compete against CD or SACD players
available at any price. Yes, even with exalted player
costing ten times as much, this player will reveal a pedigree that will
stun in any company.
Great bargains in audio like this are very rare
indeed and shows that SOTA performance need not make you bankrupt.
